One of Tioga's early native sons, David Milton Lounsbury, aged 80 years, died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Angie L. Boyden, in Sullivan township last
Saturday.

David M. Lounsbury was born in Wellsboro in 1849, the son of Richard
Lounsbury who came here from Connecticut early in the century and Eliza Wetherby
Lounsbury, a native of the county. In the Wellsboro schools, the old
Academy and Alfred University, Lounsbury received a fine education, fitting him
well for the life of his time. After leaving Alfred, he taught school for
several years and then accepted a position with the Stokesdale Tannery, where
for many years, he was bookkeeper.

Mr. Lounsbury has been in ill health for many years, and for some time had
made his home with his daughter in Sullivan. He was a member of the
M. E. church from which the funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, Rev. C. F.
Hutchinson officiating.

Besides his daughter, the deceased is survived by R. L. Lounsbury of Delmar;
H. M. Lounsbury of Buffalo, a sister, Mrs. John Cowaen.
